Does the scan tool indicate that the suspension position sensor is within the specified range? | 0.25-2.5 V | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 3 |
3 | With the scan tool command the exhaust solenoid open, to vent the system (an audible hiss sound may be heard) . Did the ALC system vent and the vehicle lower? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 6 |
4 | Observe the suspension position sensor reading on the scan tool. Did the suspension position sensor reading change more than 1 volt? | -- | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 5 |
5 |
Important: The vehicle must be raised on a drive on lift. Full vehicle weight must be on the rear tires. Care must be used when disconnecting and retaining the suspension position sensor link. If the link is allowed to travel freely, a false DTC may be set.
Did the suspension position sensor reading change more than 1 volt? | -- | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 9 |
